SUMMARY EXPLANATION In order to address budget shortfalls due to reduced City of
Yakima revenues anticipated during the 2011 calendar year, the City of Yakima Management
Group has agreed (for a second consecutive year) to a wage freeze for the 2011 calendar year
In order to accomplish this freeze the City Council must approve legislation cancelling the
application of the Pay and Compensation Adjustment for calendar year 2011 The savings
attributable to the Management Group for the 2011 calendar year wage freeze is estimated to
be approximately $140,000 for each one percent wage adjustment based upon the 2010 pay
ordinance
In addition, as you are aware, the City Manager has taken the equivalent of a 5% pay reduction
in unpaid furlough days for the balance of his tenure and retirement from the City This is a
budget savings of approximately $4,600
